Send mail using PHP mail() on 14.04

Posted on December 8, 2017

I’m unable to get find a guide that helps with the configuration with this and I’m starting to hit brick walls.

I’ve sent dozens of test emails but nothing’s coming through. Is there something that I’m overlooking? I’ve setup my php.ini with the email account, SMTP settings. I’ve installed send mail and followed the guide on configuration but nothing.

Any ideas on what I could be missing?

Take a look at this php library https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer

I’ll look at this. The install instructions are not very clear so I’ll see what I can find.
